Auditor’s Invoice for the Year 2021 59. Financial Statements CHAIRMAN’S I have the honor to become Chairman of Pakistan Advertising Association which was all MESSAGE due to my colleagues trust on me. The first assignment for me was to look after AdAsia 2019 event in Lahore which was a very challenging job & it was held after 30 years in Pakistan under my Chairmanship. AdAsia 2019, Lahore was made possible only due to untiring efforts of Mr. Jawad Humayun, Mr. Sohail Kisat and Mr. Sarmad Ali as they brought AdAsia to Pakistan. AdAsia event went very well and more than 700 delegates local / international attended the three days event in Lahore in the month of December, 2019. PAA being the only representative body of member advertising agencies in Pakistan, has to look after and safeguard the common interest as well as addressing the various issues. For this purpose we had held meetings from time to time and took the action accordingly with the approval of members. I have to inform you that some of the issues were resolved whereas some of them are still there. But we have approached the concerned authorities for their solution and I hope we would be able to get positive results. Year 2020 started with great challenges, among them is changes in media policy by the federal government that deteriorated the situation of business in advertising sector e.g. old payments to Advertising Agencies remained pending and non-cooperation of PBA & APNS made the things little more difficult for the Advertising Agencies. Then the outbreak of corona (COVID-19) made the whole scenario completely changed in the country as well as in the whole world economic activities completely stopped due to lock down. Unfortunately the sudden demise of our Secretary General Mr. Tariq Rasheed was the greatest loss to PAA. He was our most trust worthy, hardworking and noble person, so one cannot imagine how tuff it was for me to face all challenges alone as I and Tariq Sahib used to work late in the evening from home during lockdown. PAA performed all its duties during lockdown period for the betterment of its members. I am proud of young and energetic team of PAA secretariat-they are integral part of the Association. PAA secretariat has been renovated completely after 25 years under my supervision though I wanted to do more for PAA but could not do due to corona factor. In the end, I would like to thank the Executive Committee of PAA, office bearers, all secretariat staff, the core committees and their Chairpersons for providing their time, efforts, commitment, devotion and continued support wherever required, which has made the change process a success. I look forward to their continued support for meeting the challenges ahead. Sincerely, Waqar H. Haidri Chairman TARIQ RASHEED SECRETARY GENERAL, PAA (1954-2020) Mr. Tariq Rasheed joined Pakistan Advertising Association on 27th March 1994, rendered services to member advertising agencies. His association with Pakistan Advertising Association (PAA) for over 25 years is considered astounding and unforgettable. He served as a Secretary General of PAA for the longest time in the history of association & his contributions are remarkable and phenomenal. Actively took part in different activities including Excellence Awards, Conferences, Preparation of awards and Publishing of souvenirs etc. in every Excellence Awards. As Secretary, Pakistan Advertising institute (PAI), he took care for the needs of students in respect of books, conducting of courses and liaison with professors. He made research whenever required and selected appropriate verbal and nonverbal communications properly inside and out of institute. PAI was accredited with CAM Foundation UK and the Charted Institute of Marketing UK during his period. He was well versed to write minutes of meetings and Secretariat work to fulfill legislative and corporate compliance with SECP, DGTO, Taxation & Property matters of PAA. He attended ADFEST 2016 at Pattaya, Thailand & 30th Advertising AdAsia 2017 Congress in Bali Indonesia. He was also the core committee member of AdAsia 2019 Organizing Committee. On behalf of central executive committee of Pakistan Advertising Association & Ad Asia 2019 Organizing Committee bestowed with Merit of Service Award for the noteworthy and prominent service and contribution of Mr. Tariq Rasheed. Pennyworth contributions of Tariq Rasheed for whole community of advertising and marketing are persistent and can never be forgotten. His determination and dedication in work is chivalrous. Tariq Rasheed left us in deep grief and departed on 09th July 2020. We have lost our most valuable and irreplaceable asset. May his soul rest in peace and May Almighty Allah grant him with highest rank in heaven. “You will be missed forever and that emptiness of yours will stay in every heart.” EXISTING CEC MEMBERS Mr. Wasiq Ali Khan OFFICE BEARERS FOR Chief Executive Officer THE YEAR 2019-2020 Manhill Advertising & Marketing (Pvt.)

COMMITTEES Subject: Formation of PAA Councils As you are well aware that Pakistan Advertising Association (PAA) is the sole representative body of the advertising professionals in the country. Established in 1973, it has come a long way through the past 46 years and continuously working for the benefit of the advertising industry in general, and for its members in particular, which are the individual agencies that make up this large, diverse and competitive business. As a part of the continuing process of building a strong Association, and using the powers conferred to me under Clause 31 (h) of the PAA Memorandum and Articles of Association, I am honored and pleased to nominate the Chairmen / Chairperson Councils as follows: 1.

For this purpose, the Association convenes the meetings frequently to bring forward various issues raised by the industry from time 08 to time and advocates support finding viable solutions: thereby providing its members a thriving environment for progress and growth. All members are invited to participate fully by contacting the Councils directly or through the PAA Secretariat.

  • Samina Iqbal Art History Department Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, Virginia
    Samina Iqbal Art History Department Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, Virginia AIPS Short Term Fellowship Report Grant Period: August 3rd – October 3rd, 2014 Location: Lahore and Islamabad The AIPS short-term fellowship grant enabled me to travel to Pakistan for two months this summer and conduct my dissertation research, which focuses on the Modern Art of Pakistan. More specifically, my research examines the modern trends in Pakistani art beginning in 1947 and the pivotal role of the five founding artists of Lahore Art Circle (LAC) in constructing modernist sensibilities and secular trends in Pakistani art from 1950-1957. LAC, founded in 1952 included artists: Ahmed Pervaiz (1926-1979), Ali Imam (1924-2002), Anwar Jalal Shemza (1928 -1985), Moyene Najmi (1926-1997), and Sheikh Safdar (1924-1983). Since my focus is on the first decade of Pakistani modern art after its independence, it is incredibly difficult to locate any archival material on this era especially in the field of Fine Arts. Locating the actual works of LAC artists, which are mostly in private collections, is the challenging task that I set for myself for the two-month research in Pakistan. I arrived in Lahore, intending to look at a few libraries for archival material and a few museums for actual works of arts. However, this research trip turned out to be extremely productive in finding and locating much more than I anticipated. I divided my research into three parts: a. I conducted a number of semiformal and informal interviews with art critics, friends and immediate family members of LAC artists. This included renowned writers such as Intizar Husain, Kishwar Naheed, Salima Hashmi, Nazish Attaullah, Quddus Mirza, Attiya Najmi, Shahnaz Imam, Anwar Saeed, Dr.

    Transcript of an audio interview with Professor Salima Hashmi (SH) conducted by AAA project researcher Samina Iqbal (SI) on 23 May 2017 at Hashmi’s residence in Lahore, Pakistan. 23 May 2017, Part 1 SI: Mrs Hashmi, we'll start part 2 for this interview. The last interview we finished where you were talking about Faiz Ahmad Faiz in the jail for first four years from 1951 to 1955. And then he was again arrested in 1958 and spent five years—five months, sorry—in the jail. And then he came out and so we are close to 1959. SH: 1959…haan (yes). That's when he joined the Arts Council. SI: Okay. So if you can tell us about his joining of the Arts Council and what did you see at that time. You were probably then… SH: By that time I was in my second year of college, Lahore College, and then I went to NCA. So it was that period. Sponenberg was the principal of NCA. I had done Fine Arts for two years at Lahore College. My parents were very keen that I go to NCA which was a new place; newly organised; not very many students—certainly not any girls. I was only the second batch that had girls and there were just four of us. And there were two girls in the previous year. SI: It was still not college at that time? SH: Yes it was. It had become the National College of Arts in 1960. SI: 1960, okay. SH: Or was it earlier? SI: I think it was… SH: 1958 or 1959…yes, probably 1958.

Not only are their careers mentally grueling and physically demanding but they also have an added risk of high investment and low returns. The rock genre has struggled to achieve its righteous place in the country whereas folk, qawalli, pop, bhangra and Bollywood music experienced skyrocketing popularity.

  • June Newsletter
    NEWSLETTER JUNE Honorable Chief Minister of Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar Interview Corner 1. What, in your view, is the importance of Art & Culture in Punjab? Answer: Art & Culture in any society plays an integral part in reecting the values, norms and cultural denitions of any country or region through bringing people together. Art & culture are two most beautiful ways to preserve, strengthen, and boost a strong communal sense. These are the best ways to kickstart learning opportunities through entertainment, leisure, personal growth, and eective com- munication. Dierent cultural activities like drama festivals, art workshops, music classes and several other learning platforms are being supervised and coordinated by the relevant departments throughout the year to create social awareness among the public. 2. What would you say about the eorts of Lahore Arts Council in the promotion of Art & Culture in Punjab ? Answer: I must acknowledge the eorts of Lahore Arts Council, Alhamra, in the promotion of Art & Culture as I rmly believe that Alhamra works hard to promote Art & Culture at every possible level. The Lahore Arts Council has undoubtedly organized exceptional events, such as the DG Khan Cultural Show and other festivals, exhibitions, and singing contests with a huge social footprint. 3. Sir, what is your stance regarding Alhamra’s online & virtual initiative? Answer: It was a pleasant surprise for me. I was glad when I came to know that Alhamra had prepared its 16th Annual Exhibition of young artists titled “Resilience” through its website and other social media platforms. Resuming its Art & Cultural activities in the current scenario of COVID-19 by going digital is a good step in ensuring that masses get the nest opportunities in such times of anxiety, stress, and depression.
